[PD] store value of any type
hi all, I'd like to store a value which can be of any type but I don't remember if that's even possible.. something like [value foo] but that would work for integer, list, or anything else like for [foo bar 123( is there a vanilla object for that? cheers, y -- http://yvanvolochine.com http://soundcloud.com/yvanvolochine http://soundcloud.com/elgusanorojo http://vimeo.com/yv ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
Re: [PD] store value of any type
If it's just local, the list object will do it (floats and symbols are just one-element lists). If you want something that (like 'value') can be accessed by name or pointer elsewhere in the patch, you might want the text object (in git repo, upcoming for version 0.45). If you're insteested in trying it and don't want to compile your own write back and I can put out a test release - there's a bunch still to do but it seems to be working OK. cheers M On Thu, Jul 04, 2013 at 09:50:46PM +0200, yvan volochine wrote: hi all, I'd like to store a value which can be of any type but I don't remember if that's even possible.. something like [value foo] but that would work for integer, list, or anything else like for [foo bar 123( is there a vanilla object for that? cheers, y -- http://yvanvolochine.com http://soundcloud.com/yvanvolochine http://soundcloud.com/elgusanorojo http://vimeo.com/yv ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

I want it to be accessed by pointer somewhere else so I guess I'll give [text] a try.. thanks! y ps: pd would not build from master like 5 days ago on my machine (up-to-date archlinux) but I didn't folow recent commits so maybe that's fixed already.. -- http://yvanvolochine.com http://soundcloud.com/yvanvolochine http://soundcloud.com/elgusanorojo http://vimeo.com/yv ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Re: [PD] store value of any type
It might be fixed. I use make -f makefile.gnu from pd/src to avoice all the automake horror, and so had allowed the automake to get out of sync witht he source - Iohannes patched that so things migth be back to normal with automake too by now. cheers M On Thu, Jul 04, 2013 at 10:08:36PM +0200, yvan volochine wrote: hi Miller, If it's just local, the list object will do it (floats and symbols are just one-element lists).

Re: [PD] store value of any type
Aha... I never 'make install' myself - I'd better go look at that. Anyhow I think it shoud have been 'make -f makefile.gnu install' instead... cheers M On Thu, Jul 04, 2013 at 10:56:58PM +0200, yvan volochine wrote: On 04/07/13 22:54, Miller Puckette wrote: Relly - you can make a [text] object but help comes up empty?

I'll give [text] a try, thanks! maybe it's worth updating INSTALL.txt with your instructions while automake build is broken? =) (I have to say that I agree with Iohannes about sticking to only one build process for better/easier maintenance, but that's another subject) cheers, y -- http://yvanvolochine.com http://soundcloud.com/yvanvolochine http://soundcloud.com/elgusanorojo http://vimeo.com/yv ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
